Cross and Burn

Серия: "внесерийное издание"

Someone is brutally killing women. Women who bear a striking resemblance to former DCI Carol Jordan. The connection is too strong to ignore and soon psychological profiler Tony Hill finds himself dangerously close to the investigation, just as the killer is closing in on his next target. This is a killer like no other, hell-bent on inflicting the most severe and grotesque punishment on his prey. As the case becomes evermore complex and boundaries begin to blur, Tony and Carol must work together once more to try and save the victims, and themselves. Breathless, gripping and thrilling - the Queen of the Psychological Thriller is back with her most spine-chilling novel to date. The perfect introduction to the unforgettable world of Tony Hill and Carol Jordan.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Leben

McDermid kommt aus Kirkcaldy und besuchte das St. Hilda's College in Oxford. Sie war die erste Studentin, die von einer staatlichen Schule in Schottland stammte. Während des Studiums war sie Vorsitzende der Studentenvertretung. Nach dem Abschluss wurde sie Journalistin und war auch als Bühnenautorin erfolgreich. Es dauerte jedoch bis 1987, bis sie mit Die Reportage ihren ersten Erfolg als Romanautorin hatte. Sie lebt mit Sohn (*2002), Lebensgefährtin und drei Katzen in Nordengland.

McDermids bekannteste Figuren sind die lesbische Journalistin Lindsay Gordon und die Privatdetektivin Kate Brannigan. Eine dritte Reihe hat den Profiler Tony Hill und DI Carol Jordan als Hauptakteure und bildet die Vorlage zur Fernsehserie Hautnah – Die Methode Hill (Wire in the Blood, 2002-2008).

Val McDermid thematisiert Homosexualität immer wieder in ihren Romanen. Sie engagiert sich auch darüber hinaus für die Gleichstellung Homosexueller.
